What do you like best about the product?
The most simple and widely used operating system for any kind of industry. The simple operations and commands are the best part of this os. its completely virus free is also the most remarkable feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support system fails sometimes. Like the wifi connection becomes invisible sometimes and crashes.

My primary operating system is Ubuntu only. I use it for programming, sharing files, browsing, developer applications and many more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is more secure and advanced than other OS. It supports all applications and plugins. For education and business it is best fit.

I Love using Ubuntu Server

  • October 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Yes Ubuntu server is my go to Distro to spin up a quick little server. From the amount of support I find online to the very nature of being able to install most every app I need for my server in a simple App-get command just makes setting it up a breeze. Couple it with Monit and you have an amazing up time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that really comes to my mind is that you cannot run as Root. I understand the security behind it but still I just wish They would get rid of that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We run on site backup boxes with Ubuntu as the OS and then run our Code 42 on top. We also run a few other applications for customers and a few things onsite. It's easier to setup than Redhat by far.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's not Redhat but it shouldn't be, with it's strong Debian base and now the addition of snap apps it's going the right way. Spin it up and try it!

Perfect OS for Development

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I'm now using Ubuntu 18.04 on my PC as the sole operating system. Not only is it free to download, but there are also plenty of free apps and games available, but it also's extremely stable, suffers from no irritating pauses or unexpected crashes, has no peripheral issues, and has a clean attractive interface. It’s a pleasure to use on a daily basis. It never strains, it never annoys.
What do you dislike about the product?
Problems with hardware compatibility (graphics drivers, printers,etc.). Some software like Photoshop and Autocad don't run smoothly here. Also, I have problems with Office suite: Libre Office works as well as Microsoft Office, but when you save your document and send it to a Windows-using friend, it is difficult to expect full compatibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Amazing to do my thesis and my academic projects. I also used Ubuntu during my Internship for working on the compy projects.

This operative system is the definition for secure, advanced and customizable space for productivity. No need of high requirements to install, no need to be worried about threats because it's one of the most secure systems and with a larger community of support who trust in the red free and open source
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be challenging in the first days and takes a few months to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a tech worker I need it that the company implements more secure system operatives to avoid threats in our internal red and our servers around the world. Also need a space of administration to manage configurations and have a low cost. So this fit with these requirements.

The only platform to start developing Open source softwares on

  • October 08, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's free, it's fast and it's beautiful. Did I mention free?
It usually comes with no bloatware, and it does what it was designed to do? Give an optimal environment for an end user to code and create something beautiful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only if they could port or develope a better office suite. Libre office is not bad, but it kinda sucks.

If you are dual booting, grub kinda replaces the MDR (unless you take care and do it the hard way). And the problem that lies here is, that if windows gets a major update and it has to do something with the MDR, your windows is lost. And sometimes even the laptop is bricked.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is like the tool to create other tools. Everything runs on Linux and Ubuntu is probably the most famous Linux distro
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it. Flash your laptop and get Ubuntu. Unless you are a gamer, it's recommended for everyone
